being disapointed about lack of VR support is one thing. but draging it for over 70 pages or more, in a thread about an announcement of an entire new expansion coming out, is another thing entirely.

We anderstand your frustrations VR users, but please do realise that there is way more important things to discuss here aswell. like what sort of content are we getting? it's a little bit selfish of you guys, to keep hammering about this for 70 pages, yelling about how you're only given 1 rather than 2 options with wich to experience the game. while the massive majority of the rest of us only have 1 to begin with.

imagine being served a meal in a restaurant, and you're yelling about lack of forks, and only spoons are given, while not knowing what the meal actually is to begin with. NO FORK NO BUY, before even opening the lid on the meal itself, is what you all guys sound like in this thread. maybe let's unpack the meal first? see what it has to offer? then we look at what we gonna eat it with later. just a thought.

I honestly sympathise. Truly. It must be incredibly annoying!

But anybody whos been here any amount of time know that Frontier historically listen to the loudest voices. What would you do?

We could slink off back our own little corner of the forums and leave this place in peace, but how does that serve our interests?

Shouting unfortunately is the only type of voice Frontier listens too...

as someone who has been annoyed constantly over years by this approach, I can only apologise. But I’m going nowhere.

c'mon rubber, you are used to FD. That tiny useless bit of information they were hard pressed to spit out might look as a poem to someone who is surviving powerplay info starvation like you.

We cannot trust fd to know IF vr support will be provided. You know their jargon. I hope they will give insights as soon as possible in the dev diaries to come.

Well, you don't push a trailer announcing legs of all things about unless its going to see daylight soon. And the CMs answered the question of VR almost instantly, which is a miracle in FD timescales. People asked, and got a response. FD still have to clarify things but seeing the CMs and devs hover over this thread they know what questions need answering.

You are right you can't trust FD as far as timescales- its about five years since FD introduced Powerplay and over two waiting for FD to enact what they suggested or do something else which is crazy. I'd go exploring in an Asp wearing a mankini if FD gave concrete answers to Powerplays future like they have done with this expansion, I expect I'll have to wait until the patch notes to see if anything is done which does make me annoyed.

If it were me, I'd operate on the assumption VR will never come to Odyssey and VR is grandfathered in Horizons. But thats up to the CMs and devs to clarify. That and tell me about Powerplay.

@Mad Mike summed it up nicely:

I can only add: it's a nice atmospheric planet you have there, odyssey commander. It's a damn shame I cannot even enter it's exclusion zone, if I even can see it at all in her "new tech" glory, because oh wait, new tech is in Odyssey, not in Horizons.



We have come a looong way since then, the current resolution compared to DK2 is insane especially on the HP Reverb (2160x2160), the screen door effect is almost non-existent now, the field of view is much bigger (drastically in the case of Pimax), and the tracked controllers do all the difference in the world in terms of immersion.


I am sorry to hear about that. I still think you could benefit from VR for the experience of ship being all around you and your head movements tracked flawlessly, however without the stereo effect which you have never experienced it would just be "better track ir" with the added benefit of isolating you from outside world. I have a friend who doesn't have depth perception, and he still bought an oculus rift s because of the Elite experience he had. He said his condition is "similar to what you would see if you cover one of your eyes". But it all comes down to the disposable income one has for toys, because that's what VR is to me - a really damn fine toy.


Vote with your wallet, buy a VR headset and play a plethora of other great VR games out there. They won't be Elite but that doesn't meant they won't be awesome. I gave the list twice in my posts, I'll link it into my sig because people still have this strange misconception that it is still 2016, VR has just released and there are no games for VR at the moment.

I saw your list of games and thanks for putting it up, but I am a niche game player. Flight Sim and Space Combat Junkie. Played the original Elite, all the Wing Commander series, X Wing/Tie Fighter Series, Freespace etc. Was looking for a new space game to get into and considered No Mans Sky and Star Citizen and opted for Elite after watching some videos. I work away a lot and play ED on my gaming laptop. I play DCS At home on main PC with TM Warthog HOTAS and pedals. Was thinking a VR Headset is not to much extra to carry around, but couldn’t bring all the kit for DCS. I might still get the VR for DCS, but less incentive now.
